But you can tape around the handles like you would do with them emblems, but i like to tape the handles to the point where I am not spraying on the cars paint. It just makes it easy so I dont accidentally peel the handles dip.

Well, I feel like I'm drawing gang lines on how to change the color of my door handles.
![]() Thanks for all the feedback. One of the primary reasons I'm using plastidip for any of it (wheels, handles, etc) is because it isn't permanent. I may think black wheels and handles are badass, but maybe the next person who buys the car doesn't. Plus, if it turns out craptastic or I just don't like it, I can just rip it all off. And I'm out less than a hundred bucks. Also, I wasn't planning on removing the handles. I also heard they're a PITA, and was just gonna tape them off and spray 'em real good-like.

I used plasidip. Works like a charm and holds up extremely well. You can definitely peel off the center cap but make sure you don't peel off half the rim with it.

I had my handles dipped for quite some time. The key to the process is light, even, numerous coats that cover everything (in the hinge too for the best longevity). I pulled of the dip a couple of months ago because I felt like it, but it was fine. Great stuff. Use their pearlizer to add an awesome flake.
